him the following day. I spoke to him but he refused. Ho
said he knew nothing of it. I was outside the Bank and he
#poke to me. We went over to the garden together and he
olimbed over the rail and picked up the revolver. I never
saw his ricksha. I should know him if I saw him. He said
some one threw it therez I saw the revolver there before the coolie got over the rail. He pointed it out to me.

Solicitor. On Saturday 18th.March I had a conversation with you on telephone. You said that the A.G. agreed as to a view in the gaol. That was the first time I had heard that arrangement had been taken. It had been suggested in conversation with you the previous day.
I went the next day to Victoria Gaol. Neither I or anybody
ih my office with my instructions communicated with the persons that such an identification would take place. Neither I nor my clerk had any communicatioh with witnesses
on parade otherwise than to call them in. I personally took
the proof of 4 witnesses called yesterday.
Jenkin addresses the Jury at 11.36.
Onus on Crown to establish crime to prisoner. Identity not proved. Crucial point ie when the chase started. Don't dispute Capt.Morgan did see a man but he did not see the prisoner at first. Morgan could not identify the man by his face and he said he had European clothes and in reply to Court he said he may have been wearing some kind of clothing and it was dark. Can jury convict on perception like this.
As to ricksha, no shot went through the curtain. So curtain must have been lifted. If Morgan can't tell if hood was up or down shows his perception at the start. He states the Pillar was not there and it was.
Deals with Larking' evidence as to the relative position of Morgan and the fugitive. Grown can't throw over Larkins.
